I’ve been doing a fun Triana Tapas Tour for a few years now, but recently decided to modify it a bit for We Love Tapas. And so… introducing the new Tasting Triana Tour, which will include a market visit, 3 tapas bars and a relaxed stroll around Triana. First one will be this Saturday!

Out on the new & improved Tasting Triana Tour…
you never know what you’ll see.

Walking around Triana I spotted this little family in front of what looked to be an abandoned home (or one that has been closed up for the summer). Mom, the cute calico on the left, was barely bigger than her kittens. And her five little ones just melted my heart. Luckily they were behind a locked gate because I was sorely tempted to take that tiny black one home. I think Morcilla would love to have a kitten of her own…

Every now and then I go to Triana for the day. I know it’s just over the bridge and less than a half hour’s walk from my house, but it does somehow feel like going “out of town”. Will be writing a proper “Day Trip to Triana” blog post soon for We Love Tapas. Stay tuned!

Jo eating whole fried quail.
So you may remember my friends Jo & Mark? Yes, more friends that I met thanks to Twitter (@missbishopsgate @inkjocky). They also very kindly let me stay at their London home in May while I was there and they were away. Anyhoo… Jo was in town last weekend and we spent a fab day out in Triana, having lunch and mucho vino. As you can see below she even got into an impromptu bit of flamenco dancing at one of our stops. Which is also the reason she was here – on her way to Jerez to spend a week studying flamenco. At some point we decided it would be fun if I popped over to Jerez for lunch one day while she’s there, which led me to invite Eva (the flamenco connection), which has since morphed into a last minute Jerez Getaway with Eva and me staying over tonight.
Mixing business with pleasure (as always) I also arranged to finally see the famous Andalusian Dancing Horses and Peter will be coming with me to see that – research! We’ll have to leave early to get there in time to see the museum (I’ve been offered a tour) and then the show starts at noon. After that Eva will arrive and we’ll meet up at our hotel, then meet Jo for lunch after her class. I’m a bit nervous because my lunch with Jo on Saturday ended up being almost 9 hours long, and my first lunch with Eva last week was only slightly shorter. Wish me luck! Off to catch the train now…

What a great way to spend a Saturday morning – a market tour and cooking class!
Thanks to Taller Andaluz de Cocina for a great time.
More about this soon on Azahar’s Sevilla.

Today’s first ever Triana Tapas Tour was a resounding success, in spite of The Weather, which decided to turn very wet and a bit nasty. But we managed to mostly dodge the worst of it and had a great time visiting the market, having a picnic, and then carrying on to two very well-known bars in Triana. Looking forward to many more!

Not just a song today but a dance video of the fabulous Sara Baras. Thought of her when I was out walking around Triana this afternoon and came across the flamenco statue below. Enjoy!
I wish I knew what to do with all those peppers…
